That’s the second time I’ve typed “4/20” today and each time I’ve snickered to myself. Instead of being redundant, I’ll just point you to today’s “To-do” post for a very brief exploration of a few of the theories behind the mysterious number.
Too much mulch
The Great Ice Storm wreaked havoc on Fayetteville in so many ways. First we all had to deal with thousands of tree limbs that fell in our yards and on our houses. Now we’ve got tons of mulch to get rid of. Too much mulch. 150,000 cubic yards of the stuff to be exact. If you’re like me and you’re not too good with numbers in terms of envisioning exactly how much mulch that is, here’s a number that might help: $439,500. Want details?
